The Tony Vincent Live Master Class provides rising creative professionals exclusive access to advice, insight and training from a titan of the theatre industry. The master class allows attendees to hear the many ways to find their way in show business and Vincent’s unique journey and path to success as a creative.
From a young age, Vincent was exposed to the music of The Beatles, David Bowie, Depeche Mode and New Order. While attending university, Vincent recorded a five-song EP, which led to a recording contract with EMI records.
